Lamar Jackson wasn't, isn't, and never will be better than Patrick Mahomes

[Wallcrawler]

This "Lamar Jackson is in the same league as Mahomes" nonsense on every football related show I see needs to stop.

Lamar Jackson, on the biggest stage, has now shit down his leg in both opportunities. Lamar is a player who has to have everything around him working perfectly to have success. Put him down 2 scores and ask him to carry the team, he cannot answer the bell.

There's a big difference between a running quarterback, and a quarterback who can run. Lamar Jackson and The Ravens ran 88 plays and put up 12 points.

Jackson attempted 59 passes, only threw one touchdown, but also threw two picks and lost a fumble. 12 points on 59 pass attempts should tell you all you need to know about Lamar as a QB when the lights are the brightest.

Nobody would bat an eye if before the game, soneone told us Pat would put the ball up 59 times. Matter of fact, id be pretty excited to see how many points and yards he would put up in that span of plays.

When things got bad for both QBs, you saw the odds on favorite to win the MVP this year get visible frustrated, press, and ultimately fold. He was nowhere to be seen trying to work out what was happening, rallying his team, he simply pouted on the sideline as his team fell further behind.

The reigning MVP had literally no quit. Its one thing to say after the fact, that we had faith all along, its quite another for that to be true.

Down 24, think about that for a moment. 24. Mahomes is captured, in that moment on the sideline saying we have everything we want. Everyones already counted us the **** out, so go do something special.

Then, to walk the walk after talking the talk, leading the team to 7 straight touchdowns and 8 scoring drives, throwing 5 touchdown passes, and displaying a fiery emotion that if you dont feel anything when you see this kid going nuts after a huge play, call the coroner, because youre already dead.

The two qbs could not be further apart. Jackson cannot hold Mahomes jock when it comes to putting the team on his back.

Lamar should consider signing with KC as a running back. Its the only way barring injury to Mahomes, that hes ever getting a ring.

Mahomes is the MVP. Its not even close. Lamar is a running back executing the halfback pass play about 20-25 times a game.

Jacksons first two years have ended with dud playoff performances.

Mahomes first two years as a starter sees his team hosting back to back AFC title games for a frachise that in its entire history never hosted a single one before he arrived.

I still don't think he will be. He's largely winning the MVP this year because he had the benefit of playing on a completely stacked Ravens team around him (and because Mahomes had a bunch of guys who couldn't catch all season) and that won't always be the case.

Burrow has definitely taken that mantle since then. But unlike Lamar or Patrick, he doesn't have the 2 MVP's, and unlike Brady (who didn't get MVP in his first seasons), he wasn't able to nail a game winning drive despite plenty of opportunities in his Super Bowl or in Arrowhead the year after.

It'll be interesting to see how the Bengals bounce back after his injury this year. His injury history is starting to get some concerning red flags.

Nothing but love, Bro. Besides, your ALL CAPS game is too much for me to overcome, words per minute or not. 😉

Wallcrawler is a God among men.

That'll do son. That'll do.

Mahomes doesn’t have a career rival. He shows up year after year while the rest rise and fall with inconsistent play.

wow a good thread by Wallcrawler? More shocking than the result tonight

$260 mill for that? LOL.

Horrific embarrassment for Jackson today.

Simply can’t play from behind. Gets confused easily. Doesn’t have actual high level arm talent.

Then, threw a temper tantrum and showed awful body language.

Looked like an immature front running loser.
